Tile adhesive
In traditional methods, a mixture of stone powder and cement, called traditional mortar, was commonly used for tile installation. However, nowadays, the use of traditional mortar for tile installation has become outdated, and special ready-to-use adhesives are used for installing tiles and ceramics on floors and walls. One of the most common adhesives used for tiling is the paste adhesive. The paste adhesive is based on acrylic resins, mineral powders, and thickening agents. This product not only allows for quick tile installation and reduces the weight of building materials but also increases the interior space of the building. In traditional methods, tiles were placed about 4 to 5 centimeters away from the wall, and the space behind them was filled with cement mortar, which not only consumed a significant amount of materials but also occupied a large volume of the interior space. However, when using tile adhesive, this product is applied with a thickness of 4 to 5 millimeters on the wall, and then the tiles are installed on it.

How to use
The desired surface for applying the paste tile adhesive must be free of any dirt, dust, oil, etc.If the surface is contaminated and dusty, remove the surface from the contamination with water pressure (water jet) or sandblast.The desired surface for tile adhesive requires preparation and processing, and surface treatment methods vary depending on the surface material.
Wallpaper underlay: First, separate the paper from the wall, then base it with a little primer. Then, with a spatula, spread the paste tile adhesive to a maximum width of one square meter and a thickness of 3 to 4 mm on the wall and install the tile on the surface impregnated with the paste tile adhesive for 5 to 10 minutes.
Sub-plaster: Before installing the tile, the surface of the plaster should be impregnated with primer (primer can be a dilute solution of concrete adhesive) and then applied.
Underlayment: Remove any grease from the tile surface and completely remove the tile glaze by stoning. Then apply a layer of primer on the surface and then apply the paste tile adhesive on the surface and stick the tile.
Under concrete work: first, apply a layer of primer on the surface and then spread the paste tile adhesive on the surface with a comb spatula and stick the tile.
tips :
- The tile installed with the paste tile adhesive reaches its final strength after 48 hours.
- After reaching the final strength, the fastening operation can be started.
- It can be used 2 days after closing the desired surface.
- To install the tile with paste tile adhesive, at least 60% of the back of the tile must be impregnated with glue.
